Tuck Everlasting is the tale of immortality vs. the circle of life. Winnie is a young girl who runs away from home and discovers the Tucks and their spring. She is kidnapped by the Tucks, but soon becomes friends with them and discovers the truth of the spring. It grants eternal life. A man is searching for the Tucks and their spring and is killed by Mae when he tries to kidnap Winnie. Winnie must help the Tucks free Mae before the secret is discovered.
The tale is an interesting look at immortality. People have always looked for the fountain of youth, and this story shows the struggles and sacrifices caused by having immortality. This is a really easy book to read and captures your attention. There is a well done movie that stays pretty true to the book, through it has some added romance.
